GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. June 23, 2015 — Allegiant (NASDAQ: ALGT) today announces the return of low-cost, nonstop, seasonal service between Grand Rapids and Fort Lauderdale beginning Dec. 16, 2015.

For a limited time, Grand Rapids travelers can also save even more on their Allegiant vacation to Fort Lauderdale by using the promo code FLL100 for $100** off an air+hotel package.
“We’re pleased to bring back seasonal service to Fort Lauderdale and re-open a popular destination for Michigan travelers,” said Jude Bricker, Allegiant Travel Company senior vice president of planning. “We saw strong demand for Fort Lauderdale flights after our brief hiatus, and we’re happy to make affordable vacations in Fort Lauderdale possible once again.”
